I HAVEN’T OCR AVERAGE YET.
y ini The rapid anil consistent manner
| *dn which North Carolinians are buy
• "ing autos has caused much wonder.
; As a whole we are inclined to believe
Hggtbat Tar Heels are buying motor ve
-1 > hides at a faster clip than persons
; sos any other State. Such is not the
i Please.
i The annual report of the National
- * Automobile Chamber of Commerce
1 $5 for the year 1925 gives figures for the
J<per capita ownership of motor ve
c !* hides throughout’ the Country. In
| 5Q the United States there was last year
i * one automobile for every 5.7 per cap
s *» -ita, while in North Carolina there
I- was one car for every 8.8 persons. In
: •' this respect California led all other
I? pj States, and North Carolina appeared
; 2* far dow n the list, ranking fortieth
g among the forty-eight states in the
5 Cnion. In 11*24 her rank was the
| Is same. On this basis it will take an
p additional 125.000 ears to bring North
. L; J&rolina up to the level of the Nation
■"ism whole.
The ('l)arlotte News lias gathered |
i »much information bn this subject,
' showing while in the State "the
i '.=* growth has been rapid,” North Caro-
K: lina is still far behind in its owner
ill' ship of autos. “With a national reg-
K» istration of 19,954.347,” says The
K average for all States in
|| tliet Union was approximately 415.-
I 7H..-**- North Carolina registered only
338,814. On the basis of these fig
ures there seems to be a jmtential
l market in the State for over 75,000
cars before our total will approach
? that of the other States. This esti
mate of the potential market may be
B|w*4Mreased when one considers the fact
| that Nbrth Carolina is much larger
than the average State and her popu
fe lation is 20 per cent, greater than the
P* average. Our position in tin- auto
| mobile industry, relative to the other
5: States and to the Country as a whole,
|fcs'.' jitter down the scale. We are IS 1-2
If' -per eent “below par."
Hl-jlfwe are buying tlic autos, to be
Ey’kure. But we arc not the only State in
EK'-dtS market. In fact we are behind
fef; moat of the others.

WILL NOT BE TRIED IN MANY
STATES.
' President Coolidge's order direct
. ing that State, county and municipal
officers be given federal authority, has
■ aroused so much criticism that it will
not be tried in many States. The or
; der was passed primarily for Califor-
I ilia and that is about the only State
[ that will feel any effect from it.
I States which do not have local pro
, hibitiou laws do not want federal in
terference ; those States which have
1 dry laws similar to those of the Vol
stead Act feel that they can look as
-1 ti’r their own business.
1 The States right question tomes up
again and this more, than anything
else, will keep dry officials from mak
ing a general practice of giving offi
cials everywhere authority to act as
federal agents.

VANDALS DESTROYING
MOUNTAIN SHRUBBERY
The Isaac Walton League Protests
Against Breaking Flowers—Has a
Meeting at Elkin.
Elkin, May 27.—The wanton de
struction of the beautiful rhododen
dron. azalea and mountain laurel was
one of the chief topics of discussion
at the regular monthly meeting of
the Sparta-Elkin chapter of the Isaac
Walton League at Hotel Elkin last
nighr. Every week-end, in fact al
most daily, dozens of autos are seen
returning fro mttie mountains liter
ally loaded down with branches of
flowers broken from the shrubbery
along the highways.
■ Investigation has been made of the
penalty for this vandalism and it lias
been found that a maximum fine of
ss<) or 30 days in jail for each of
fense can be imposed for this forcible
trespass on the property Os another.
■ AIT deputy sheriffs and other officers
in the communities affected have been
requested to keep a sharp lookout for
violators of this law and to use no.
partiauity in enforcing it. It is
hoped, this will stop the destruction
of one of the greatest nttraotious of
the mountains.

q Tablet at Graves of Floyd and Claude
Allen Removed and New One
Erected.
r Mt. Airy, May 27.—One day last
week a stranger, representing some
’• monument concern in Virginia, quiet
t ly entered the little country cemetery
son the Want- G a p road in the Yir
-1 ginia foothills where the remains of
f Floyd Allen and his son, Claude Al
len, have lain since they died in the
electric ehnir in t?.ie Virginia peni
tentiary more than a dozen years
■ ago, and with hammer and chisel re
moved the tablet which bore this in
scription : "Sat'Vd to the memory of
-■ Claude Allen and\his fattier, who were
1 judicially murdered in the Virginia
, penitentiary March!2B, 1913, by order
1 of the governor of Virginia over the
protest of 100.000 citizens of the state
of Virginia. Erected by a friend and
citizen of Virginia."
And in place of the tablet bearing
the above the stranger placed upon
■ the marker another bearing I’lie fol
■ lowing: “In memory of Floyd and
: Claude Allen, born 1857, born 1889,
died March 28, 1013. Asleep in
, Jesus.”
It is not known who gave the order
for the change but it is the opinion
that some of the relatives of Floyd
and Climde Allen had Pne clmiige made
and so the marker that.vdped a si
